Trivia and QuotesQuotes Jo March: [repeated several times] Christopher Columbus!
Trivia June Allyson was 32 when she played 15-year-old Jo March. Peter Lawford and Janet Leigh narrated the trailer. In the scene where Beth (Margaret O`Brien) tells Jo (June Allyson) that she doesn`t mind dying, June Allyson`s tears were real. She was so moved by Margaret O`Brien`s performance that she was sent home early, still crying, and had to pull over several times on her journey home as her tears rendered her unable to drive. One of the three films June Allyson considered her personal favorites of her films. This version originally was to be a David O. Selznick production. Filming began in September 1946 but David O. Selznick decided he couldn`t tackle a major production so soon after the ordeal of filming Duel in the Sun (1946) so he sold the property and script to MGM. The cast for the David O. Selznick version included Jennifer Jones (Jo), Diana Lynn (Amy), Bambi Linn (Beth), Rhonda Fleming (Meg), John Dall (Laurie), Anne Revere (Marmee), Charles Coburn (Laurie`s grandfather), Philip Friend (Brooke) and Constance Collier (Aunt March). Only director Mervyn LeRoy and Elizabeth Patterson (Hannah) made the transition to the MGM version. Costume tests of the actors exist. In the novel, Amy is the youngest sister, but in order to use `Margaret O`Brien` as Beth, Beth was made the youngest. The snow in this movie was actually cornflakes. The basket that `Margaret O`Brien` carries around in this movie is the same basket that Judy Garland carried in The Wizard of Oz (1939). | ||
